Hello,
Some people on the German wikipedia noticed that http://www.wikipedia.de points no longer to de.wikipedia.org but to a completely different site which has a frappant similarity to a link farm.
What did happen here? Most people, reading about wikipedia in the newspapers, first try the .de-adress. This could seriously damage our reputation.
greetings, elian
$ whois wikipedia.de
